I have come to learn that special interest groups hire students and agents to promote their viewpoint on wikipedia. This might be promoting a firm or a single person, or promoting an entire idea, or slandering the opposition. Combatting this and 'keeping' Wikipedia value-free and fair is very difficult, because when funds are large enough these agents can learn the rules, start Wikilawyering, become Admin, and influence innocent wikipedia editors who are a bit naive and follow the herd. Money can buy a large herd. |

I would be happy to learn how to help wikipedia counter these practices. Who will help me? --[[User:Mick2|Mick2]] ([[User talk:Mick2#top|talk]]) 12:31, 14 September 2018 (UTC) |

Speedy deletion nomination of Spiral dynamics
Hello Mick2,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Spiral dynamics for deletion, because it seems to be an article that was previously deleted by a consensus decision.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. GoldenRing (talk) 03:54, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mick2. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mick2~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Hello, I'm SkyWarrior. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Anthony Weiner, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. SkyWarrior 20:32, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
